The Pretender (1996–2000)
10/10
10 reasons why I love the Pretender
13 April 2008
Warning: Spoilers
1. Love the character of Miss Parker. I'm fed up with the dumb shallow bimbo female leads. 2. I love the B side of the story, much more intriguing then the Jarod beats up the bad guy every week, while those entrapped within the Centre fight for the lives and their sanity. 3. I like Sci fi, and although there are no space craft, there is the cloning, the 1984ish. Fahrenheit 451 touch of evil. 4. It has a great ensemble cast. I can't see the show without anyone of them. 5. The actors have made the characters their own. ex. Andrea Parker OWNS Miss Parker, as to Michael T Weiss own Jarod. Or Jon own Broots or Patrick own Sydney. 6. You never know what to expect from one episode to the other. You go one week from a heart wrenching scene to a rather off the cuff scene with Mr. Wiggles. (April Fools show) 7. Great writing for the most part. 8. I can watch the show over and over and even though I know my favorite episodes by heart they never seem dated to me. 9.There is nothing on TV that challenges this show, even yet. Alias tried but got too tied up with soft meaningless episodes. 10. Did I mention: Great acting, great writing, and a very unique story. and of course Miss Parker.
